About City Women

Letitia Shelton

I strongly believe that as citizens of Toowoomba we have a responsibility for the well-being of our city.

We are not only living here just to earn an income, raise a family and die. But we have been placed here to build the wider community and to make Toowoomba a better place for women and girls.

Our nation was built by not only men but also amazing women who pioneered in their community, sacrificing to build not only their family but also their regions and cities.

Toowoomba looks like a beautiful and peaceful city. We have amazing events like the Carnival of Flowers and Family Week that we are all proud of. What we are not proud of though is that we have the highest chlamydia rate per head of population in Australia. Domestic Violence, drugs, homelessness, depression are significant issues in our city and nation. It is also estimated that around 500 babies are aborted a year in Toowoomba.

It’s easy to think… “somebody should do something about this.” Well, that somebody is you and I.

Through City Women we desire to see a great army of women coming together to build a better community.
